    Obviously the US fans would probably like it over there?

    Saudi has the most money

    and the UK fans want it over here for a stadium fight but this somehow will generate the least money.

    Where do you think and where would you like it to be held?

    With the big money coming from DAZN and ESPN I suspect it will be in the US if some Arab doesn't pay stupid money for it. I wouldn't mind it being in the Middle East over the US though, as the time slot for the fight would suit UK viewers.

    Ideally after a fight in the US in Vegas we have a rematch in the UK, because we all know there will be a rematch clause.

    I'd love it to be and it should be in the UK, without doubt..

    But can you Imagine the cash money offers that are going to be thrown about for this fight.

    It should be in the UK.

    Saudi is a good possibility... but only those two venues.

    I reckon UK would break records. Excellent fight.

    But it should be Whyte before AJ, only fair. Then Winner takes on AJ.

    Seriously, two Brits fighting for the undisputed championship (if Joshi doesn't have to drop a belt)... that has to happen in Britain.
    I know there would be complications due to Fury signing with ESPN and all that, but seriously. Not British myself, but come on!

    In that vid with that big clummux Dean In, fury said if wilder don't take the rematch he'll fight the mando next.

    Easy work for tyson either way innit.. :)

    It could be the best day in UK boxing history if the two best in the hw division contested every belt and title in a UK venue.

    Make it so.

    Regardless if it's easy.. Whyte fully deserves his shot next before AJ or any unification.

    Whyte will prepare the best he can, and perform the best he can and if his best aint good enough then so be it. He got his shot.

    Wilder, despite the rematch clause.. doesnt deserve another shot after his performance. It was completely one sided.

    I agree that Whyte has been unlucky to miss out on a few title shots, not sure he's more deserving than seeing the two world title holders unify the division ?

    I hope it is in the UK - it really should be, given it is 2 British fighters.

    However, as usual, it'll be the money that decides...

    Wherever it is held, I personally hope it will not be Vegas - these 4 - 5am starts ruin me for the Sunday!

    Hearn said the Saudis were willing to pay 150 million to host an undisputed fight there. Who's going to wage a bidding war with them?

    Most certainly is deserving, as he was robbed of his chance to be in Fury's position right now... so most def deserves his shot before any unification
